We pulled into a driveway between a field of sunflowers and an organic meadow, and drove up to the most wonderful barn. Full glass front looks over the fields, gorgeous views from both aspects. The garden is an orchard, with beehives and plenty of natural planting. It just feels wholesome. Opening the door we were met by a most welcoming open plan living area, with comfortable bedrooms, lovely bath. It suited us perfectly, including the fact that the TV room is small and separate - we much prefer to watch birds, and there were plenty of them! The living area is perfectly set up to cook and chat.
We were welcomed by a little personal letter from David and Zazu and, even better, homemade jam, marmalade and honey. So good.
We loved the local area - top notch dinner, wine and service at The Ringlestone Inn nearby, and a visit to the village market in Lenham - excellent local produce. Half hour drive to Whitstable, 40 mins to Canterbury - ideal.
Overall, it was pretty much perfect for a long weekend - well set up, warm, good bath, and it felt like a proper getaway.
Thank you for putting so much time and love into your cottage, it was an absolute pleasure to stay.
